Time to Count the Omer!

OK, I admit we were 15 days late in making our Sefirah chart, but better late then never, right:)

So I took a bulletin board and put green constunction paper on the bottom for the grass, blue on the top for the sky and a brown mountain for Har Sinai in the middle.

We layed it down on the floor in middle of the room so the munchins (age 4 and 2.5) had complete access to the entire board.

We talked about how there was a fence around the mountain, flowers on the mountain, lighting in the sky, how we eat dairy on Shavuos etc.

I then gave them the goods:

popsicle sticks to make a fence

stickers of flowers, ice-cream, kids, butterflies and a few other stickers (they love stickers)

a pre-cut Torah to stick on the top of the mountain with Alef Bais letters to stick on the Torah

pieces of thin paper to make lightning with

glue and tape

The kids did all the work, by themselves. They glued on the fence, stuck on the stickers, the Torah, the lightning. I helped them make a sign that says "Sefirat HaOmer" and a countdown chart on the mountain that we put a shiny star of David sticker on every day to count.

I used a permanent marker to write a number on each sticker so we can keep track of where we are up to.
